Ok, I think I see what you were getting at. You were saying we were not equal to hunter gatherers? When my question was more, what if we are not equal and we're still ok.

If cholesterol levels reflect diet and activity, and we have high cholesterol levels and hunter gatherers have low cholesterol levels, it means that our diets and activity levels are very different from a hunter gatherer's and we are only fooling ourselves when we say we 'eat like cavemen'.

Or our activity levels are different and we eat like cavemen and if they moved like us they would have cholesterol like us. Never mind! my brain is fried, it's the end of the day here. |
